The World's Best Online Classes & Products for Digital Crafters

Hello Art Journalers!

I'm sorry that I missed last month for our digital art journal challenge. I was in the process of moving my studio back home to my spare bedroom. It was quite a big project and took much more time than I would have thought But, I'm all settled in now and here is a picture of my new space...



For this month's challenge, I'd like us to do a journal page about our best memories of summer. These could be from last week or from our childhood, or any place in between!

Most of my best summer memories as a child have to do with my mom's garden. I think that's why I love to draw and paint flowers so much. Some of my favorite memories of summer are:;

- eating cucumbers fresh from our garden
- watching my mom work in the garden
- helping my dad mow the lawn
- swimming at the lake
- laying out in the sun (before sunscreen was invented! LOL)
- bike rides
- cookouts
- horseback riding
- camping

As an adult, I have some new favorite memories:

- reading in the sunroom
- gardening
- making fresh pesto from basil in my garden
- camping with Ellie and John
- running on the trails
- riding my bike
- Ellie and her horse Missy


What are your best summer memories? How can you document them on your page?

Here is a background inspired by my summer memories as well as a quote to get you started.

Beautiful Nancie! TFS

Thanks, Nancie! Your studio looks wonderful!

Your studio is beautiful. What a wonderful view 0f the garden. My studio is just a 3 x 4-foot piece of masonite that I place over the kitchen sink . . . no view at all. But, it works for me. Supplies are stashed wherever I can find a place to stick them.

Your background art page for this challenge is so beautiful that I had to show it in its entirety for all to see. In addition I used it to create my 8-section mandala. My favorite memories are of some of the fishing trips that I took over the earlier years of my life. Fishing was my favorite sport.
